Meeting the 2030 Challenge: Tools to Fight Climate Change
Thursday 22 May. 6 – 8pm. AIA San Francisco, 130 Sutter Street at Kearny.The 2030 Targets were set by the AIA to achieve emissions reductions in the built environment. Come to this presentation by AIA San Francisco to hear more!

Host Dona Booher says, “Join me for a carnival art exhibition at the San Francisco Dump (technically it’s a waste transfer facility…not a true Dump). I know that going to a dump is not a standard Friday night social scene — but why in the world would you want to be ordinary? If you haven’t been to an art reception at the dump, you’ve been missing out on a rather unique SF social event that will make you see your garbage in a whole new light.”

Enjoy wine & light hors d’oeurves while admiring art made of stuff salvaged from the garbage pit and turned into carnival games and bicycle powered kinetic sculptures. Culture, Skee-Ball, networking & recycling, all in one night…what more could you ask for?

Show up if & when you can for as little or long as you want. The reception goes from 5-9PM. I plan to arrive by 7:30 and will probably stay until 8:30 to hear the Crank Ensemble band. Friends are welcome, it’s open to the public & free.

The artist Paul Cesewski is creating a carnival midway, a series of booths with “games of skill” such as a ring toss and Skee-Ball. The exhibition will feature a series of heavy-handed amusement machines imbued with a lighthearted sense of nostalgia.
